Chelsea
- The Blues have won two and lost two of their five games under Xabi Alonso's stewardship and drew 3-3 with Malaysia's Johor Darul Takzim FC away from home last time out.
- They have responded well to that opening 3-3 draw away, beating AC Milan and Real Sociedad by 3-0 and 3-1 scorelines, respectively.
- Chelsea have won four and lost two of their six competitive home games this season, averaging 2.50 goals per game with 15 scored in total.
Luton Town
- Jack Wilshere has similarly had a short reign at Luton Town, taking charge on 13 October 2025, but his side have carried momentum into the cup.
- Luton have won 5 and drawn 1 of their 6 competitive away games this term, averaging 2.83 goals scored per-game and conceding an average of 1.17 goals per-game.
- The Hatters are certainly in form, and arrive here after a 3-0 EFL Cup 2026/2027 away win at Gillingham and a 4-3 away success at Reading in League One 2026/2027 last time out.
Overview
- Chelsea have won 2 of the last 2 H2H meetings, including a 3-2 away win in the Premier League 2023/2024.
- Luton Town are yet to win at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea
Joao Pedro remains the main threat for Chelsea, netting seven of their 14 goals across their last five competitive games.
Odds & trends
The 1.45 about over 2.5 goals may seem short, but we're getting the Hatters' momentum on that price and the game could descend into a classic control vs chaos type game.
Final call
Chelsea should win this game and at 1.23 , they're definitely the rightful favorites in this cup matchup.
